Drake London Value Dependent on Quarterback Competition?

Sunday, August 23, 6:30 PM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London could see his value rise significantly if the team's starting quarterback is Michael Penix Jr. Penix missed most of training camp after tearing his ACL late last season. With Penix out, former Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has handled most first-team reps and has struggled in camp, game action, and joint practices. London has already had a ton of success with Penix under center, catching 91 passes for 1,286 yards and nine touchdowns in 14 games with the third-year quarterback. London's fantasy managers should continue to monitor this quarterback competition, as Penix's connection with the star receiver bodes well for London's fantasy value this season.

Xavier Worthy's Redraft Value in Question Amidst Shaky Summer

Thursday, August 27, 12:19 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is coming off an underwhelming 2025 campaign in which he recorded 42 catches for 532 yards and a touchdown on 73 targets across 14 games. Worthy suffered a shoulder injury in Week 1 that he played through for much of the season, which may have been one of the reasons why his production was subpar. Unfortunately for Worthy, he suffered another shoulder injury early in training camp that has limited him throughout the summer. While the current shoulder issue is not expected to cause Worthy to miss regular-season time, it's still a bit of a red flag. Worthy may also see a somewhat diminished role in the Chiefs' offense in 2026 if the team can get more out of top wide receiver Rashee Rice, who missed nine games in 2025. Worthy still carries some upside due to his elite speed as he enters his third NFL season, but he should be viewed as a mid-tier WR4/flex option entering 2026.
